Searching our 800 number database live

800 numbers from our cached listThe 800 Watch email and the Alternatives are from the monthly database we create not the live lookup. That’s why we tell you to click on whatever number you like in the email or the alternatives box to see the LIVE status. If it says it was available but was taken recently, that means that it was available in the monthly database but that isn’t available in the national database when it checks live.

The system works like a search engine with a cached database because they couldn’t go check each page in the results to make sure what they saw there a while ago is still there before they display it for you. And we couldn’t do the thousands of queries in the typical database directly into the SMS800 system or each report would take hours and they’d shut us down in about a day for overloading the system. So we use a cached database that we assemble once a month.

The cached database allows us to do thousands of queries within a couple seconds in our internal database instead of a couple hours and it also allows us to find disconnected numbers which nobody else even sees. And just like a search engine when you click on the result you like it brings you to the live results. This is usually explained or mentioned in the emails and in the keyword section and the search section of the website. But I thought this also warranted an additional post.

If you suspect that another website may have “Locked Up” the 800 number you wanted because you searched for it on their site, send us an email and we’ll look up and show you the resporg history and tell you if it was taken by a fake phone company with a look up tool.

    Hello,

    I was using your website which noted 877-ECO-ITUP was available so I reserved it. Lower on the page it said that it ‘might’ be taken as of 1/10/10.

    So is it available or not? I’m confused.

    Thank you

      Bobby,

      Yes, that’s because after you reserve it, it is taken, by YOU. It’s not coming back as available any more so the computer says it may have been taken since it was available the first of the month but isn’t coming back now as available.

        Thanks for the explanation. This may sound odd….but from your experience, does 877 ECO IT UP seem just too campy for use with my business?

        Thanks in advance for my inquiry

        Bobby

          No, I don’t see a problem with it, but I don’t know your business and audience as well as you do. I do know however, that your main challenge is getting noticed and getting a couple seconds of attention of your prospects and making your message memorable.

          You can also make that a big hit or even a home run by using that phrase in the theme or message of your advertising. Matching the message of your advertising is more important and beneficial than matching your company name or industry. So try tying that concept into the rest of the ad and it’ll be great.

          I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything else.

              I called the number and within seconds got connected to Bill on a Saturday afternoon. Not only did he answer many questions but he offered additional suggestions and recommendations on how to use my new 800# for my business. You know your business and provide real service.

              Thanks Bill!

              Thanks so much for providing this service! I was having a terrible time finding a toll-free number for my business since my Digital Video Security company's name, EYESthere, has the common term "eye" that is popular with eye doctors, camera companies, and unfortunately porn companies. I lost the number 866-GOT-EYES to a porn company and was very disappointed, however, with your fantastic tools and service I was able to secure a number that many people feel is much better: 877-EYES-LIVE. Then I was able to secure an additional vanity number that I needed using your service. Thanks again for supplying such valuable tools and service!

              I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to explain how "everything works" in this telco industry. As i told you, I wasted a lot of time searching manually for my number before finding you guys and had no clue which service provider to go with also. Much appreciated....

              Now i think i've got pretty much the perfect "Vanity" number for my biz and shouldn't have to worry about whether it'll be activated on time for my Ad campaign roll out...

              Infact, i just got notification it's up and running - literally a minute from signing up!

              May the Force with You :)
